1:36pm:  The Kim Richey digest emailed out to the 7,500+ ntcers on the list this morning ... click the postie to go on the list.

Major Gervaise DeRoute lifetime president of Stackton Tressel rugby club has emailed to say Howard from the Halifax ads not Princess Grace of Monaco will be opening the annual carnival this Monday, there appears to have been some misunderstanding, apparently she'd dead.

Now here's an unusual story as to why a Blackberry Curve has been handed in to Woodbridge police station.

ASTONISHER No.30:  It didn't astonish or even surprise us that actor (he played Miranda's dad in the Christmas special) Tom Conti's full name is Thomas Antonio Conti or that his father Alfonso was interned as a belligerent alien during the second world war.  What does astonish us is Alfonso returned home avoiding the Arandora Star after his wife Mary gave a suitcase containing £2,000 to the highest ranking policeman she could find.

Despite rain being forecast we actually got a little sunburnt snapping Sunday on the outskirts of a large town near Chelmsford.

We were surprised to discover that the building at the back of the Lemon Tree Framlingham which for a bit B&G used to sell fishing tackle was once the fire station, didn't stop the 1905 Fore Street fire though did it?  It's now in da cottage selling collectables, design, artisan chocolate and by mid-morning yesterday most of Andy Cole's lovely bread had already gone.  They are open Fridays, Saturdays and by appointment.

Like Saint Titch says It'll grow, because it wants to.

Prompted by the Duchess of Cambridge's wedding dress the Stackton Tressel rugby club have booked Princess Grace of Monaco as the celebrity to open their bank holiday carnival Monday week.

Guess Who 28?  She's not Martina Navratilova or Evonne Goolagong Cawley.

Grand (is there any other kind?) Opening with bicycle fancy dress compy in Halesworth of the Millennium Green all weather track tomorrow.

How to puff yourself on nearthcoast.

We still use Office 2000 because we don't need to schedule meetings with multiple yes persons and it doesn't have online activation so we can just keep on loading it up.  Annoyingly recent ... more here

Now would be a good time to make us your home page.

The large police presence today at the Wyevale Garden Centre Woodbridge was newly hatched PCSOs about to be set free in the wild and an opportunity for us to meet new Suffolk Chief Constable Douglas Paxton, had no idea he's a Scot until he spoke.  The PCSOs were clearly pleased and flattered by the Chief Constable attending their event and he arrived on time ... looking good.

PS:  We completely failed to recognise Sergeant Andy Buck without his comedy moustache and red nose.

♫After cancelling their Worlingworth Swan gig last month because of illness Vix and the Kix will definitely be at the Swan this Friday.
